SC62 post 10 September - Square within a square The large image is the original, then I cropped the outside frame away and added the new image. Finally I cropped the inner frame and reduced the size of the object. I could have carried on but the end result would just be a circle.

Plas Newydd, ("new hall" or "new mansion"), is an historic house in the town of Llangollen, Denbighshire, Wales, and was the home of the Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, for nearly 50 years.

SC61 - Inspired by Shakespeare "...over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine." Part of a monologue spoken by Oberon, Act 2, Scene 1 of a Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The Luscious woodbine is Lonicera periclymenum, common names include honeysuckle, common honeysuckle, European honeysuckle, or woodbine. The rose in the centre is the hybrid musk rose, ‘Penelope’ bred by Joseph Hardwick Pemberton. It has trusses of semi-double seashell-pink blooms that are sweetly fragrant. This photo is taken in my garden The rose on the right, an eglantine, is a species of Rosa rubiginosa, also named R. eglanteria
